    Vegetable Omelette

    Omelette to Personalize

    Ah the omelette, a versatile classic often reinvented by cooks! Eggs are definitely underestimated. As for omelettes, they are often made with vegetables, fresh herbs, and smoked meats. Plus, it’s a nutritious, economical, and quick recipe to make. We love the simplicity of omelettes… and not only for breakfast!

    Needless to say that versions containing lots of ingredients are usually more nutritious. It’s an easy way to reach satiety at any time of the day, whether for breakfast with fresh bread or for dinner with a salad side. 

    Plus, omelettes are the perfect clean-out-the-fridge recipe to avoid wasting withered vegetables.

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS: Why not make a crudités platter to save all your vegetables?

    Calories are units of energy. They represent a measurable quantity of energy brought by a food. Your energetic needs depend on your age, height, weight, gender and how active you are. The average need ranges around 2000 calories/day. A higher or inferior intake might affect your weight.
  • Lipids
    34.5 g
    53 % DV
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
    14.1 g
    71 % DV
    Saturated fats, commonly known as “bad fats”, are mostly found in processed foods and in some products of animal origin. If consumed in excess, they can have adverse effects on cardiovascular health, including increases in LDL-cholesterol levels. Try to eat better lipids such as those found in fish, nuts, oilseeds, and oils!
  • Cholesterol
    434 mg
    145 % DV
    Your body mainly uses cholesterol to produce hormones. It is only found in foods of animal origin such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. However, dietary cholesterol has little to no influence on your cholesterol level compared to saturated and trans fats.
  • Sodium
    362 mg

Carbohydrates are mostly found in fruits, dairy products, baked goods, pastries, sweets, cereals, and legumes. It is recommended to not eat high quantities of added sugars.

As for insoluble fibers, they increase stool bulk and regulate bowel function. Since they slow down the digestion process, they promote satiety, which contributes to appetite and weight control. You should consume at least 30 g everyday.
